Our flexible Income Protection can give your clients peace of mind knowing they’ll be able to pay their rent, and cover some of their everyday expenses, if they can’t work due to illness or injury.
The number of people renting in the UK is on the rise.1 Yet unlike homeowners, very few renters are encouraged to consider the benefits of protection.2
Research shows that many tenants would be interested in having a conversation about protection.2 Together, we can make this happen and help tenants become more financially resilient, so that should the unexpected happen they can focus on their recovery.
We've created a range of support materials to help you unlock protection opportunities in the UK rental market, start conservations and build relationships with lettings agents and their tenants.
We also have a handy income shortfall calculator to help you demonstrate how long your client might cope if they were unable to work.
